ConradDobler Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 And as a backup to #34 don't forget #30, Don Smith. He of the direct snap fame. Unfortunately it didn't work so well in the Superbowl, but it sure helped us get there. Lost in FA (AFAIR) to the Poorpisses, he seemed to be another ex-Bill that suffered from the Curse. Anyone want to talk about Chas Romes?
The Dean Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I think the point is that he is a RB that could be a starter on another team. I don't think he was comparing them as backs. I see that, now that the article has been linked. That wasn't really clear from the first post, IMO. Rule: Quote from, or cite an article: LINK IT! Or at least provide a reason why you can't. I'm not barking specifically at the poster in this thread, but so many people refer to an article to make a point. Then, after you read it, you realize they completely missed the point, misread it, whatever.
ans4e64 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Jackson's receiving skills are incredible. He's our best slot receiver. Yeah... I said it.
billybob Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Jackson's receiving skills are incredible. He's our best slot receiver. Yeah... I said it. I agree, his hands are outstanding- last year in preseason he caught two tipped balls, when I saw that I knew his hands were excellent- he also is a tough runner, has good eyes, and a nice wiggle- but he is not M Turner who is 240+ and can run away from DBs
bizell Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 the only memory i have of darick holmes is him fumbling on the 1 against san francisco and the fumble being returned for a touchdown.. grr.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 There are people out there that liked Darick Holmes?
flomoe Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Tim Tindale? Tindale was pretty good in his short time in Buffalo. Holmes was a pretty good change of pace back too and had a nice little career in Buffalo. Still, Kenny Davis and Thurman were a Great Combo.
Big Turk Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Jackson reminds me more of a Ronnie Harmon type back...not so good on runs, but a great receiver out of the backfield, and makes people look silly after catching the ball...
